Defended settlement, 1.05 km north west of North Farm is a prehistoric fortified enclosure located in Northumberland. The site comprises an Iron Age or Romano-British defensive work, identifiable through earthwork remains that indicate a settlement of some strategic or social importance during the late prehistoric or Romano-British period. The archaeological evidence suggests permanent or semi-permanent occupation within a defended boundary, typical of the settlement pattern established across northern England during this era. Such defended settlements reflect the social hierarchies and territorial organization characteristic of late Iron Age and early Romano-British communities in the region.
